Unless you're running Sun's GNOME on Solaris (which extends the Keyboard
Shortcut Prefs GUI to let you do this), you currently have to set some
gconf keys by hand.  Using gconf-editor or gconftool-2, Store the
command you want to run in:
/apps/metactiy/keybinding_commands/command_1

and the equivalent keyboard shortcut in:
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1

(There are nine slots available, so you can substitute "1" with any
number from 1 to 9.)

Cheeri,
Calum.
